| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a four-line cursive Kufic inscription recording the names and titles of the Abbasid Caliph al-Nasir li-Din Allah and the Zengid ruler Qutb al-Din Muhammad ibn Zangi, affirming both suzerain and local authority in conformity with standard Islamic numismatic convention. Below the inscription appears the distinctive Zengid dynastic tamga, rendered as a stylized fulmen (thunderbolt) symbol serving as a dynastic emblem. The overall layout is characteristic of the Zengid reformed dirham type of northern Mesopotamia. |
